Melinda Lee protein (keto) diet. Altogether she lost a total of 18 pounds in one month. Wa-Rite’s degreed member Kathy Moran also lost weight, crediting her success to cutting back on carbs and going to the gym three times a week.

Pat Miller presented on the diet plans that have a few things in common: adjusting the nutritional needs with age, finding the way of eating that works, and improving health through weight loss. She also highlighted the Mediterranean diet that incudes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, nuts, lentils, and olive oil, and restricts refined and highly processed foods. Miller concluded that finding the right diet is difficult but not impossible.
